Privacy Policy
1. Introduction
PayProof is a wage proof diary. It helps you record employers, work days, the pay agreed, money received, advances, deductions, witnesses and private notes, and make a summary of your records that you can share.
2. Records Kept on Your Phone
PayProof has no account and no sign-in. Your records are kept in the app's private storage on your phone. They can include:
- Your name and phone number, if you add them, and the default currency you choose.
- Employers or work sites: names, type of work, phone numbers, places, currency and usual pay.
- Work days: date, job, time or part of the day, pay, payday, who saw the work and private notes. A correction keeps the earlier values and when it was made; a cancellation keeps when it was made and the reason.
- Money records: payments, advances and deductions, with their dates and details, and the reason if one is cancelled.
- Your choice of language for the app.
PayProof never sends these records to the developer. They leave your phone only when you save a backup file, share a summary or move to a new phone, as described below.
3. Copies and Sharing You Control
- Saved copies on this phone: before you delete all records or restore a backup, PayProof saves a copy of your current records inside its own storage on the phone, so you can get them back; if that copy cannot be saved, nothing is deleted or replaced. If a records file is ever damaged, PayProof tries to keep a copy of the damaged file the same way. If you used the first version of PayProof, your old records also stay in the app's storage as they were.
- Backup file: "Save backup file" lets you choose where to save a copy of your records, using your phone's file picker. The file is not encrypted, so anyone who can open it can read your records; keep it where only you can reach it. PayProof does not send it anywhere by itself; if you save it to a cloud service, that service stores it under its own terms. "Restore from backup file" reads only a file you choose.
- Sharing a summary: "Share summary" opens your phone's share menu and passes the summary to the app you pick; that app sends it to the people you choose, under its own terms. Private notes are left out unless you choose to include them.
- Moving to a new phone: Android's backup to the cloud is turned off for PayProof. On Android 12 and later, if you move to a new phone with your phone's transfer tool, Android may copy your PayProof records file to the new phone; saved copies are not included. On Android 11 and lower, PayProof asks Android not to back up or transfer its data.
4. Optional Feedback
If you tap "Send feedback" in the About Developer screen and send a message, it is sent through Web3Forms, an email-relay service, to the developer's email.
A short technical footer is added to help fix problems: app name and version, Android version, and the phone's maker and model. No records, employers, notes, contacts, files or location are attached: only your message, your email address if you add it, and this footer are sent.
Your email address is optional. If you add it, the developer uses it only to reply to you. Web3Forms may check your email address and your connection's IP address with spam-prevention services.
5. Permissions
- Internet: used only to send optional feedback.
- Network state: used to check for a connection before sending optional feedback.
PayProof does not request camera, microphone, contacts, SMS, call log, calendar, location, notification or storage permissions. The backup file uses the phone's own file picker, which needs no permission; PayProof can open only the file you pick.
6. How Records Are Used
Your records are used on your phone to show totals, what is still owed, what is overdue, each employer's account, and the summary you choose to share. Optional feedback is used only for app support, bug reports, feature ideas and replies.
7. Data Sharing
PayProof does not sell data and has no ads, no tracking or analytics tools, no purchases and no public posts.
Optional feedback is processed by Web3Forms, an email-relay service working for the developer. Web3Forms stores messages for up to three years unless they are deleted sooner, and uses spam-prevention services. Web3Forms has its own privacy policy at https://web3forms.com/privacy.
8. Keeping and Deleting Records
Your records stay on your phone until you delete them. "Delete all my records" in Profile removes every employer, work day and money record and keeps a saved copy on the phone so you can undo it; your name, phone number and saved copies stay. Clearing the app's storage or uninstalling PayProof removes everything the app keeps on this phone, including saved copies. Backup files you saved, summaries you shared and records moved to another phone are not removed by this; delete them where they are. Feedback you sent stays in the developer's email and with Web3Forms until it is deleted. To have a feedback message deleted, email www.saifullah.ai@gmail.com with the date you sent it.
9. Children
PayProof is for people aged 13 and older who do paid work. It is not directed to children under 13 and does not knowingly collect personal information from them.
10. Changes to This Policy
This policy is updated when the app's features or data practices change. The effective date at the top of this page changes with it.
11. Contact
For privacy questions or deletion requests about feedback messages, email www.saifullah.ai@gmail.com.
PayProof keeps your own work records. It is not legal advice. For a formal claim, talk to a worker-support group, legal aid, or the labor office.
